Carl Sagan, Pale Blue Dot Our sun is one of 100 billion stars in our galaxy. Our galaxy is one of billions of galaxies populating the universe. It would be the height of presumption to think that we are the only living things in that enormous immensity.

When you're born you get a ticket to the freak show. When you're born in America, you get a front row seat. George Carlin

This video was made by an idiot who thinks he knows something about ATC but actually doesn't...

East and westbound flights are separated by 1000 feet vertically. All aircraft above FL180 use a common altimeter setting of 29.92, which prevents cruise altitude errors.

There were no near midair collisions in this video. And where did he get the KC-135/tanker type? Just jetliners making pretty contrails...the person who made this video has no clue, and is depending on clueless watchers...

On December 1st, 1984, a remote controlled 4 engined transport jet took off from Edwards AFB, CA and crashed into a barren patch of nearby desert. This Controlled Impact Demonstration was a joint R&D program by the FAA and NASA

This I am familiar with. My point is: it is inconceivable that unmanned, remote-controlled, "heavy" jets are traversing our skies amidst commercial jet traffic? Furthermore, they aren't squawking so other jets aren't aware of their relative position, nor are they being advised by ATC's since their flight plans wouldn't be filed.Don't you think there may have been some type of incident by now, mid-air collision, downed empty aircraft, etc. or is the technology already that perfected?

none of us know what really is going on, we can theorize all day on what we think is going on. maybe one day will find out what is really going on but i doubt it

It's quite common knowledge at this point. Remote control tech for this is older tech, anyone in the business knows this.

Calling someone "kraut" in no way boosts your position. Just the opposite, really.

Fair enough. You discredited my quoting J/L in my post. I suggest you discredit him personally, rather than my citing his statement.

I'm not going to derail a thread and start teaching.

Saying remote control of full sized air frames doesn't work is like saying cruise control on autos doesn't exist; it really is common knowledge, at least in the industry.

I don't really believe you want to have a discussion on the topic, really, as your "kraut" comment was childish, and I'd say you are attempting to de-rail this thread as all the usual attempts are, on this topic.

Their is a dearth of info available on the decades old tech I spoke of, and much video of it on the net.
